The defacement group hit the sites yesterday, and although very few of the names are instantly recognisable, such sites as computercrime.edu and americansurgicalhospitals.com were on the list. One member of the group, named RaFa, seems to be taking responsibility for the hits, initially prompting suggestions that a single script had been used to carry out the defacements. http://www.vnunet.com/News/1123915 http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/167942.html Taliban bars Internet in Afghanistan Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement has banned the use of the Internet in the war-torn country to stop access to vulgar, immoral and anti-Islamic material. The Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) quoted Taliban Foreign Minister Maulvi Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil as saying the movement was not against the Internet as such but was opposed to obscenity, vulgarity and the anti-Islamic "stuff" on it. "We want to establish a system in Afghanistan through which we can control all those things that are wrong, obscene, immoral and against Islam," he said. The ban also applies to government departments, AIP said. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5094100,00.html 'Network-Aware' Viruses Spreading Fast The viruses are not new, but are particularly troublesome due to their ability to continue infecting the same users and spread by exploiting shared or mapped drives. Two network-aware viruses, which scan and attack file-sharing features on computers, are spreading at a rapid rate and have infected nearly 100,000 desktop systems in the last month, according to security officials. The viruses, PE_Funlove.4099 and PE_Magistr.A, are not new, but are harder to identify than typical, mass-mailing viruses that spread via e-mail address books. And according to security software maker Trend Micro, which ranked the viruses numbers one and two on its Virus Tracking Center Top 10, they present a greater threat to Web users. http://ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/11973.html Honeynet Project sweetens hacker bait Online vandals and network intruders used to finding easy prey on the Internet had better watch out. The Honeynet Project--a group of experts in computer security, information intelligence and psychology--unveiled Thursday its plans for improving "honeynets," collections of computers designed to let hackers break into a false network while allowing investigators to watch their every move. The new software and hardware that project leaders proposed at the Black Hat Briefings security conference will make honeynets easier to set up and cloak, turning computer cracking into a complex game of online Russian roulette for would-be intruders. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6560377.html Hackers slam Bugtraq A bunch of hackers at the annunal Def Con and Black Hat conference have added to the often confusing and strongly opinionated debate over vulnerability disclosure by launching their own disclosure mailing list. Run by well-known industry figures such as Rain Forest Puppy of Wiretrip, Weld Pond of @stake and L0pht, and security analyst Steve Manzuik, Vulnwatch.org is a non-profit, independent vulnerability disclosure list. In the eyes of the Vulnwatch team, current methods of vulnerability disclosure, through such lists as Bugtraq, have become overrun by commercialism and bureaucracy, detracting from the community spirit. http://www.vnunet.com/News/1123956 ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
